Weetabix Wabbit

Here is a musical commercial for "Weetabix" cereal featuring Bugs and Elmer. I really don't have more information about this, except it appears to be a fairly recent commercial (1990s?). Thanks to Michael Bailes for sending this to us:

I'm sorry, J. E., but I don't think you're remembering it right. Here's what Weetabix are like...http://home.uchicago.edu/~nmchang/...with the slight cavil that the maker of that page obviously likes neither the look nor flavor.Me, I'm crazy about them. The shape seems aesthetically pleasing and the taste is great, at least in milk.

As for the Bugs and Elmer spot: WOW! "Run, Rabbit Run" is one of my favorite British music hall songs! What a kick to see Bugs and Elmer performing it!

I remember this adverts well and I love Weetabix, I even eat the new OAT-A-BIX. It was a well produced advert, though I liked the Weetabix mascots, the characters who were Weetabix with different personalities.O-KAY?
